Save Our Seward Pets

Striving to promote responsible, respectful pet care and support for the Seward Animal Shelter, through community commitment, education and advocacy.

about us

Years ago, a group of locals with love for all pets gathered to define and address the needs of the community and to create a bridge with the budget-restricted services of the Animal Control Officer.

In 1994, we crafted a list of goals that citizens and members of the newly formed group - SOS Pets - could perform through advocay and fundraising. Our goals now are not much different than when we first began.

We support the Seward Animal Shelter with donations of food, materials and money; we offer reduced cost spay/neuter vouchers to the community; we advocate for a new animal shelter; provide pet food to the local food bank; and provide vaccine and microchip clinics.

Over the years the efforts of SOS Pets has waxed and waned. But throughout, our overiding motivation has been to maximaize the quality of life of local pets.

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

How We Help

One aspect of this program funds surgeries for animals that pass through the Seward Animal Shelter. The second aspect donates $50 vouchers to any community member to be redeemed at several South Central vet locations.

A new animal shelter remains a high priority for SOS Pets. A clean, safe, quiet, low-stress environment will encourage adoption and decrease disease; provide comfort, health, enrichment and hope for pets; be enjoyable for caregivers; attract local and visitor volunteers; promote community hope and pride and help rehabilitate animals.

We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It’s the best deal man has ever made.
